WAMPO is the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) for the Wichita metropolitan region. MPOs are federally required regional policy bodies in urbanized areas with populations over 50,000. MPOs recognize the critical links between transportation and other societal goals such as economic health, air quality, social equity, environmental resource consumption, and overall quality of life.

Locally, the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) is responsible, in cooperation with the State of Kansas and Wichita Transit, for carrying out the metropolitan transportation planning process.

The value of our metropolitan area’s shared transportation system is nearly $10.9 billion dollars. Yes, billion. Making that system the best it can be through strategic investment is at the core of MOVE 2040’s mission.
